Hello GG Devs and community.
Ive recently setup my starter kit and configured the server and was pleasantly suprised when i noticed we had a dedicated server available ?
Is this just for us testing with our starter kits ? also i notice the syntax such as
$pref::Master0 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002"; does this mean there is more servers 1,2,3,4? or maybe regional servers which ive not seen info for as it worked 1st time but i wondered where these servers was and what are there limits for our testing ?
Is there a listing of servers we can use ? or maybe a document ive missed somewhere. Thx

You can release games with it. There are also some free implementations available. It's really very much a non-issue. :)

And if you are real gearhead it might be possible to come up with an IP:PORT selector that is fixed on one end but piped to other ports on the back end like so:
IP:PORT-STATIC -> Some Re-director code -> SERIES of PORTS

Just so you know, you don't have to use the Master Servers at all. My game clients are hardwired to a hosted environment. You might look at having a dropdown to choose among preselected servers.And if you are real gearhead it might be possible to come up with an IP:PORT selector that is fixed on one end but piped to other ports on the back end like so:

Thx richard ill also look into that for "external" servers, for the time being ill just use the GG's :) which i got working and configured quite well. I noticed a Master/Client in the resources i think ill try at a later date.Appreicate the replies, tips and guidance.

Richard, can you give any instructions or hints as to how you were able to bypass the master server? Thanks!
